This year we’ve already seen the unprecedented action of a junior doctors’ strike in response to Tory plans to remove the financial penalties on excessive and unsafe doctors’ hours.

Now the Government has outlined their plans to slash £21bn from the NHS budget by 2020 – that’s a staggering sum, more than double the entire Home Office budget which pays for Britain’s policing, prisons and counter-terrorism.

Here in Wallasey we have already had an early taste of these cuts when I successfully stopped plans to transfer out-patient clinics from Victoria Central to Arrowe Park last year; but with Wirral NHS Trust nursing a £17m deficit this year, and this figure only likely to balloon under these Tory plans, our NHS faces the greatest challenge in its 58-year history.

Wirral Council has already seen its Government grant slashed over 57%, which means social services cannot cope with the number of perfectly healthy patients ready for discharge from hospital but instead bed blocking our hospital wards.

This is on top of the £2.5m Tory public health cuts that affect the local NHS’s ability to deal with the huge rise in obesity and sexually transmitted infections, leading to more costly treatment instead of cheaper prevention.

Instead of seeing doctors face to face the Tories have suggested virtual consultations where you video conference over the internet, almost Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies style.

But Britain already has some of the worst cancer detection and cancer survival rates across Europe.

At the same time they are charging ahead with their so-called seven-day NHS, but if the Tories cannot provide a decent level of service and care over five days it will be impossible to do this over seven days, not least with a major staff shortage, since the Tories slashed student nurse places by 5,000 a year and slapped £9,000 tuition fees on them for the first time.

An internal government report has now warned that this Tory policy poses no fewer than 13 risks to the NHS and says the proposals are ill-thought out.

I want to know what your views are about these £21bn of Tory NHS cuts and how you think we can design the NHS of the future.
